Depression Poems
#depression
Depression takes a person beyond feelings of sadness, to a very dark and lonely place. Poetry about depression offers the reader a glimpse into this darkness and isolation. Depression is a serious mental disorder. A creative outlet, like writing poetry, can offer relief to some sufferers.

Debilitating sadness
My heart is weighed down by debilitating sadness.
My brain is filled with an intoxicating madness.
Depression haunts me and I’ve always had this.
My soul is drowning in the depths of darkness.
The blade is my enemy yet my friend with its shimmering sharpness.
My brain is filled with an intoxicating madness.
Depression haunts me and I’ve always had this.
My soul is drowning in the depths of darkness.
The blade is my enemy yet my friend with its shimmering sharpness.

Today 2:17am
Long Exhale on a Cloud
the tightness settles into my eyes
gauzy, jewel-toned shades
float down to cover my mind
satin pillows under my head
chest expands to blow
the sultry, ancient incense
from my torched, heavy breath
my hazy soul sighs
long exhale on a cloud
all my pieces draw inward
naked and exposed fully
my critical eye softens
I see beauty in the rolling landscape
scars create striking topography
pleading with desire
for your curious expolorations
the ones I shied away from
when last you dared to wander ...

We Can’t Cover Our Ears Forever
We can't cover our
Own ears forever...
There are many
Reasons and a
Number of things
That can weigh
On our hearts
Some of us may
Be able to get over it
Quickly and easier
Than others
Some of us seem
To have a tendency
To bury the pain
And go about our business
After a while
We will find ourselves
Forcing a smile
So no one will see
How terribly hurt
We are inside
Sometimes we feel the tears
Burning our eyes
Then quickly pull
Ourselves together
Because we...
Own ears forever...
There are many

Have you ever
Have you ever been a depressive state
Nobody loves you it's all hate
Your mates go see their new mates
It takes two minutes to take two takes
Motivation is nill back down the steep hill
Thoughts running through you mind
can't keep the feet still
at a quick glance looks like he tap danced
Mummy that man's standing funny
That's my rap stance
work pays but still I still ask for an advance
Coz after you've paid the food and bills you know the Drill
you bank is ill till the end of the month
And it will it...

Voyeur
Voyeurs come in many stripes
standing at the edge of light
peering from the depths of shame
knowing where to place the blame
scripture written on the self
lifted from the holy books
skin absorbs the greater truth
without regard for consequence
spoken clearly behind the mask
worn to damn the realm of doubt
becomes the journey of the mind
slick with tears from the beyond
the steps are taken down the path
away from orbs of calm insight
remaining while world retreats
voyeur of the private grief.

....
Once their was a boy. A very unusual boy. He was running and running very fast. His breath was heavy and haunted he was. Haunted by what is unknown to many. He dashed past the billboard half torn and rusted. Something wonderfully terrible, worst than even a ghost, was chasing him. It said "To whom you think you are running from? To whom do you believe can help you? To part with me is unrealistic." He stopped dead in his tracks, he was tired of running. He was caught. The thing packed him with burden, not because it caught up, but because he stopped. The boy was done. He is no more but a...

Don't Break Down
Don't Break Down
When life gets you down
Don't Break Down
Things break and you get hurt and you feel so alone
You go through the motions of each day but you aren't really living
You listen to you childern laughing but don't even smile
Things break and you get hurt and you feel so alone
Don't Break Down
When life gets you down
Don't Break Down
Crying alone in your car to that sad song that comes on
Not understanding why you feel so miserable
Trying to hide the tears from you family and friends
Crying alone in...
When life gets you down

Waste
I am the lines you rejected
The emotions your heart injected
I am a torn script
A product of your frustrations
I am squashed and thrown away
You deemed me not fit even for a bin
So I lay here on the floor
unattended
I am called a waste
I guess I am a waste- of thought
I am a "waste" after all
The emotions your heart injected
I am a torn script
A product of your frustrations
I am squashed and thrown away
You deemed me not fit even for a bin
So I lay here on the floor
unattended
I am called a waste
I guess I am a waste- of thought
I am a "waste" after all

No Reason Just Death
This feeling of
Death
Wanting to
Die
For no good
Reason
It's just how I feel
Does there have to be
A cause?
It's how I feel
Anger
Despair
Hating myself
Worn out
For no reason at all
Just done
With everything
It's not that my life
Is bad
I just feel
Like I'd be better off
Dead
But no one
Believes me
Because I don't
Have a reason
To want to die
I have no heart wrenching story
That made me think this way
It's just how I am
And...
Death
Wanting to
Die
For no good

blood and marrow
My bones bloom flowers
without poetry
I no longer have the words
to show you my soul
or explain the way
I have fractured myself
My heart is like an erratic coffee stain
the black mark sinking so indelibly inside
I can't scrub the anxiety from
my consciousness
Coins fall from my hands
in reverse prosperity
that can never fill your cup
and never will
when I have more
than my own bones
to stay alive for
Loneliness is more
than...
